# Scan It All vs Simple Scan

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scan It All at 70% against Simple Scan's 22%. Scan It All also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Simple Scan's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scan It All sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Simple Scan sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple Scan holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 318 and 245 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Scan It All's written reviews are positive against 22% of Simple Scan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Scan It All ships an update every 3 weeks, Simple Scan every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 7, 2026.
